*** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #2 Arizona Game(Day) Thread ***

WOW what a game, lot of good shooting in this game. We just came out on the wrong side of it. @UAdevil congrats that was a hell of a game. Good luck tomorrow.

Dang it would have liked to get this one, but hopefully these games in KC locked us into a 2 seed. Hopefully we get St. Louis.
 
Don't think losing this way (as F'ing painful as it is) will affect our seeding. With Tamin likely tweeking his groin, probably best to not have a 4th game in 4 days (against Houston or KU, nonetheless) & go into the Big Dance as healthy & ready as possible
Brutal way to lose. But not upset we lost at all. Give an extra day of rest to Lipsey. 50/50 we’re a 2 or top 3. 3 in the Midwest is fine
 
Fine,rest up for the real deal. Who was the poster that asked earlier if we’d rather have a B12 Tourney win or a Final Four? Well, let’s hope this is the answer.

It’s one reason I always say, enjoy the journey. That was one of the best college basketball games I’ve ever watched and that was the second one I said that for this year. This team is special, no matter how much further they go.
 
Guys did an amazing job tonight. Though Bradley got away with too many push-offs. That said, if their two guards who don't have very good 3pt shooting percentages shot more in line with their season average, we win this by 6 to 8 points. But, Arizona is VERY GOOD - I will likely have them in the Championship game when the Brackets come out. Also agree with others - it will be a complete TRAVESTY if Iowa State does NOT get a two seed.
 
Can't imagine how Milan must be feeling right now... put up the performance of your life... and had it taken from you.

I'm never one to blame officials for losses... but had these officials called it the same both ways... we might win that thing by 10 tonight. Oh well... hope this gets us a 2 seed, and I'm kinda glad we can rest tomorrow instead of playing someone like Houston in another super physical game.

He's probably getting ready for next week.
